The Interaction of Topicalization and Left-Dislocation in English by Betty J. Birner, Gregory Ward

“…Topicalization (TOP) in English requires that the topicalized information stand in a partially-ordered set (poset) relationship with previously evoked information, whereas Left-Dislocation (LD) has been argued to have three discourse functions: to simplify the processing of discourse-new information, to trigger a poset inference, or to amnesty an island violation (Prince 1997). In this paper, we examine naturally-occurring instances in which both constructions occur (e.g., ‘Scorpions, those you have to look out for’) and compare them to the corresponding variants with TOP only (‘Scorpions you have to look out for’) and LD only (‘Scorpions, you have to look out for those’). …”
